Mycenaean Palace
The princess's boudoir is very warm and comfortable. It is covered with a thick wool blanket. The white wool blanket makes the whole room clean. There is a large bed in the center.
The big bed is made of wood and has several layers. Princess Electra is lying on the big bed.
There seemed to be wind outside, and the branches made a "crackling" sound when they collided in the wind. She struggled uneasily and had a strange dream. In the dream, there were fires everywhere and shouts of killing. Everyone was panicked and covered in blood. But I couldn’t see clearly who it was.
Electra was very frightened. She unknowingly hid between the pillars. She was familiar with the pillars, but at this time she always felt that the pattern was quite strange. After walking a few steps, she suddenly saw a terrifying sight. One scene.
In front of him was a bathroom. A familiar woman was stabbing a man with a knife. The man screamed and reached out for help, but the knife kept stabbing him.
She covered her mouth and suppressed her scream.
The woman seemed to feel something and turned around, but she only saw nothing.
Princess Electra was trembling all over. In front of her was an almost perfect man. No, she understood that this was not a mortal, this was a god. He blocked her sight.
"Who are you?" Electra asked.
"I am Paris, the former Trojan prince and now the disappeared god. Your father Agamemnon promised to build a temple for me and slaughter cattle and sheep for me to sacrifice, so I show mercy."
"Look, your mother has killed your father. There is a fierce fighting outside right now, and the warriors loyal to your father are sinking into the underworld one by one."
"Go quickly, the slaughter is already in progress. You must quickly transport your brother Orestes out of the palace and go to Strophios, king of Phanote, who is the brother-in-law of your father Agamemnon. I will take care of your brother until he reaches adulthood.”
Princess Electra pressed her lips tightly, tears flying. It was hard for her to believe the authenticity of this matter, but the royal education and the blood of God told her that all this was true.
Pei Ziyun said: "Hurry, it will be too late, your cruel mother will even kill her son."
"Ah!" Princess Electra finally couldn't bear it anymore and screamed. She woke up with a start. She gasped and slowly got off the bed. She walked on the soft white wool blanket to the door and window and leaned against the crack in the door and window to listen. , there were indeed shouts of killing outside, and bursts of screams could be heard from time to time.
"ah!"
"Help!"
"Queen, why do you want to kill us? We are loyal warriors of the royal family."
"How could there be such a cruel mother in the world?" Princess Electra suddenly woke up and covered her face in tears. As a princess, she had received education and knew that it was a dream sign and reminder from God.
The God of Disappearance, she did not doubt that there was a true god in this world, a soul that was not a true god. Even if he obtained the temple through deception, he would only be greeted with destruction.
Princess Electra felt sad in her heart and burst into tears. She knew that what the God of Disappearance said was true, because she did see what happened. The screams rang through the night sky, and the princess was horrified to hear it. The Kingdom of Mycenae It had been years since this tragedy had happened, and she had never experienced anything like this.
She knew she couldn't wait any longer, so she quickly opened the door, looked around, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she immediately ran out.
Her brother Orestes' room was not far away. She crossed the corridor and quickly entered his room. Seeing that his brother was still sleeping, she quickly woke him up and said: "Listen, Orestes, we There is not much time. God told me that my mother killed our father Agamemnon and will come to kill you. Now I must let you escape as soon as possible."
"Sister, do you want to come with me?" Orestes woke up. Although he was only eleven or twelve years old, he immediately grabbed the dagger.
"No, I can't leave for the time being. Just follow the servant."
After saying that, she called another servant over, handed Orestes to this loyal servant, and said: "Bring the prince to the kingdom of Phanote, find King Strophios, and bring the current prince to him." Just tell him and he will know how to deal with it."
Seeing that the servant still wanted to ask, Princess Electra said: "Go quickly, go quickly, time is urgent!"
The servant did not dare to delay and ran out with Orestes. Princess Electra was very worried. There were many enemies outside. If she was caught, the consequences would be disastrous.
At this moment, a phantom appeared in front of her. It was Pei Ziyun, saying to Princess Electra: "Don't worry, your brother will be protected by me, and he will grow up safely."
As he said that, Pei Ziyun's phantom followed him and disappeared in an instant.
Princess Electra immediately knelt down and prayed silently to Pei Ziyun.
"O great disappearing god, I hope you will protect my brother Orestes. I will definitely inherit my father's promise, build a temple for you, and sacrifice cattle and sheep for you."
In this world and this era, it is reasonable to offer a sacrifice to the gods once, which is not expensive, but it is not simple to agree to build a temple.
Building a temple in this era was expensive, and kings only built temples for a few gods, which became the protector gods of the city-state.
Pei Ziyun smiled as he listened to Princess Electra's words. With Princess Electra's promise, things in the temple would be relatively stable.
The servant led Prince Orestes along the way, trying to avoid the patrolling soldiers. He was almost discovered by the soldiers several times along the way. Originally, it was impossible to avoid these soldiers according to the route and ability, but Pei Ziyun helped .
A thin layer of fog followed along the way, making it impossible for people outside the fog to see what was inside the fog. Even if someone planned to go deep into the fog to explore, they would soon lose their way in the fog. Moreover, since it was night, so With Pei Ziyun's help, the servant successfully took Prince Orestes out of the city.
"Hurry, hurry!" The servant quickly rushed to the harbor with Orestes. I don't know what he said. Soon a sea ship received the prince, and immediately set sail, quickly heading to Phanote.
Not long after Orestes left, Aegisthus rushed to the door of the room, took one look, and ordered: "Open the door and kill Orestes."
"Yes!" The soldier immediately carried out the order. With a "boom", the door was kicked open and soldiers with cold weapons rushed in.
But there was no scream.
"King, we have not found Orestes, there is no one inside."
"What?" Aegisthus went in with a sullen face. Sure enough, there was no one inside. When he touched the blanket, it was still warm inside, and his color immediately changed: "Quick, search the palace."
"Secure all the city gates and be sure to find Aegisthus."
In a room not far away, Princess Electra looked at her murderous cousin Aegisthus and the soldiers, and covered her mouth. God was right, her mother and cousin Aegisthus thought. Kill his brother. If Orestes had not left, he would have been directly blocked by these people and would never have a chance to escape.
Fortunately, with God's reminder, Orestes left in time, and now Aegisthus led his soldiers into the air, his face gloomy.
He searched the entire palace, but found no trace of Orestes, and it was the same if he expanded it to the city, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Orestes ran away and went somewhere." Aegisthus said to Clytemnestra.
Clytemnestra also looked very bad, and now she ran away from Orestes, which may lead to revenge at any time in the future.
"Did you find out who helped him escape?" Clytemnestra asked.
"We haven't found anything yet, but our soldiers have already gone to various city gates to check." Aegisthus said.
"Well, try your best to capture Orestes, otherwise we will all be in danger." Clytemnestra said.
Orestes is a descendant of Zeus, which casts a shadow on both of them, and they can't help but think to themselves: "Maybe the gods helped Orestes escape."
olympus
Pei Ziyun came back to his senses. At this time, the banquet dispersed, the banquet was gradually removed from the tables, and the tables were not scattered at all. This is the world of gods. Even if a grand banquet is held, it is still orderly.
Pei Ziyun looked at the gods who got up and felt a lot. He didn't expect the gods' methods of interfering with mortals to be so miraculous, and he was even more amazed at the hierarchy among the gods.
"They are also the twelve main gods. Even if we include Hades and Poseidon who did not participate in this banquet, Zeus is still the undisputed number one god."
"Demeter was powerful, Athena second, Artemis again."
"Apollo, who has been protecting Troy, is not as good as Artemis. The three goddesses of destiny also participated in the banquet. Their power is also very powerful, and each one is on par with Apollo."
"Hephaestus, who vaguely has a problem with me, is next in the ranking, and Aphrodite and Ares are still below him."
"The great Hera's divine power itself is not as good as Ares, but she has some authority from Zeus and can give orders."
"Then below are Hermes and Dionysus."
"The power of the twelve main gods differs by more than ten times. Although Dionysus has the name of the main god, he is only not much stronger than me now."
Seeing the gods gradually withdrawing, Pei Ziyun also stood up and slowly walked towards the main hall.
Along the way, Pei Ziyun carefully felt the feeling of being thrown into other people's dreams and using phantoms to interfere with the fate of mortals. This was difficult to do before.
As mortals, we never knew that gods could intervene like this.
Pei Ziyun came out and arrived at the colonnade, which was made of pure white marble and carved with many reliefs. The reliefs were the deeds of various gods.
Athena was standing, as if waiting.
"Paris, great projection, well-timed intervention, you have quickly mastered the skills of the gods, which even Hercules did not fully master - and now you want to go to a distant island?"
Pei Ziyun listened to Athena's words and waited for her next words.
"You have passed the test and become a member of the big family. You can stay." Athena said.
"I'm very happy to be a member of this big family, but I'd better go to a distant place." Pei Ziyun said, pointing to Greece: "The descendants of Hercules are ready to establish a new kingdom. I don't want to be with him Greece, or nearby contention.”
"You are very wise." Athena nodded. According to Athena's opinion, Pei Ziyun could not easily give up entering Greece. After all, the opportunity was rare, and Hercules had been fighting for it.
"Don't you think about it? Staying in Greece and Mount Olympus will save you a lot of detours."
"No, no need. I have decided to go to a distant island." Pei Ziyun said. Not only were there too many secrets, but also as a family-style pantheon, although Paris was also a descendant of Zeus, it was obvious that he could not have it at all. How much room for development.
If that's the case, why bother getting together
After saying that, Pei Ziyun turned and left, while Athena stood quietly on the pillar, watching Pei Ziyun fly down from Mount Olympus.
